Deadline for finished pieces: 28th May 2012 Composers are invited to write flexibly scored works on the theme The Natural World to be workshopped and recorded by a CoMA ensemble in their region. All pieces will be considered for inclusion in the CoMA Library and future performances. Composers will be able to visit their local CoMA ensemble in rehearsals or concerts, hear the music they are playing, talk about their repertoire and see how flexible scoring works. The theme The Natural World will give you an opportunity to explore some aspect of the natural environment and our relationship with it in any way you see fit. CoMA (Contemporary Music for All) ensembles in Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds, London and Sussex will rehearse pieces submitted for that ensemble in day-long workshops in the region. Each ensemble will be able to workshop a maximum of 6 pieces. Works will be selected by a panel including established composers and representatives of the relevant ensemble. To take part please contact the CoMA office (library@coma.org) for an application form and guidelines for flexible scoring. You will need to nominate the ensemble you would like to write for. Finished scores to be sent to CoMA by Monday 28th May 2012 with a fee of £10 to cover administration costs. Scores can be sent as pdf files to library@coma.org or by post to CoMA Call for Pieces, Rich Mix, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA. You are very welcome to arrange a visit to the CoMA Library to look at scores, or you can see samples of scores on the website. Workshops will take place on a Saturday or Sunday between July and December 2012, to be decided by each ensemble involved. Composers who take up the offer of the workshop will then be asked to send all parts to the ensemble with a fee of £30 which will cover the cost of the conductor and the venue.
